Description
The HC-SR04 is an ultrasonic distance sensor that can measure distances from 2cm to 400cm. It sends out an ultrasound signal and detects the echo. By measuring the time you can calculate the distance.

How to connect it electrically
Required Module and Files
- We use hcsr04.py
- this is downloaded from https://github.com/rsc1975/micropython-hcsr04
- the original file is at https://github.com/rsc1975/micropython-hcsr04/blob/master/hcsr04.py
How to control it in MicroPython
1 from hcsr04 import HCSR04
2 from time import sleep
3
4 sensor = HCSR04(trigger_pin=12, echo_pin=14)
5 sleep(1)
6 i=0
7
8 while True:
9 distance = sensor.distance_cm()
10 print(i, ': Distance:', distance, 'cm')
11 i=i+1
12 sleep(0.5)
